Abstract : The objective of this study is to identify foods that cause large sediments, which interfere with Ritchie technique. This technique is used routinely in diagnostic clinical laboratories for detection of intestinal parasites in stool specimens. Foods included in the study were classified into six groups; 1- Vegetables and beans, 2- Fruits, nuts and seeds, 3- Meat, fish and poultry, 4- Grains, 5- Milk and dairy food, 6- Spices and miscellaneous. From each of these groups, several foods were investigated by Ritchie technique. In addition, several volunteers were asked to consume specified food, and then stool specimens from those volunteers were examined by Ritchie technique. Most of the studied foods resulted in small sediments and large debris plug. Those foods that formed large amount of sediments were identified and listed according to their food group. A list of these foods can be provided for patients to avoid consumption for 2 days before performing Ritchie technique for detection of intestinal parasites.
